The Devil Made Me Do It The First Time
Billy Joe Shaver
Way down in Louisiana Amongst the tall grown sugar canes Lived a simple man and a dominiker hen And a rose of a different name. Well, the first time I felt lightning I was standing in the drizzling rain With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin And a rose of a different name. Well, the devil made me do it the first time The second time I done it on my own Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man And help me leave that black rose alone. --- Instrumental --- When the devil made that woman Lord, he threw the pattern away She was built for speed with the tools you need To make a new fool every day . Way down deep and dirty On the darker side of shame I caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin With a rose of a different name. The devil made me do it the first time The second time I done it on my own Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man And help me leave that black rose alone. The devil made me do it the first time The second time I done it on my own Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man And help me leave that black rose alone.
